The Inconquerable Podcast, number 24, book club for February 2011.

We are back on the Incomparable podcast. I am Jason Snell, your host. The topic today is books. And if you've tuned in,

can you tune in a podcast to hear us talk about Dexter Palmer's delightful book, The Dream of

Perpetual Motion, which features Zeppelins. I have some bad news for you. Lots of people are still

reading it or are promising to read it soon. So we're going to, we're going to do it, but it's going to be in a few more weeks.

In the interim, we have a book club podcast that we've cobbled together on short notice,

because it turns out that four members of the vast, incomparable conspiracy have read many books in the Vorkosigan saga by Lois McMaster Buzold.

And so we're going to talk about that.

That's what our topic is today.

If you have not read these books, it's okay.

We're going to be light on the spoilers at the beginning.

Then we're going to fire off the spoiler horn and you need to run away until you've read them all because they're great.

Joining me today to talk about the Vorkosan saga, on the other end of the internet is exactly opposite me on the internet.
